Strength From Their Faith

It is great to be alive when you can literally watch God transform a nation of people. The sleeping tiger of China seems to be awakening and bringing forth a radical faith that we could all use a dose of. This article in Newsweek is a very encouraging read about just that: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13879416/site/newsweek/

Destino Project San Antonio

On Thursday I had a cheap date with most of the leadership of the Destino Summer Project in San Antonio. I offered to take them to lunch and they suggested Chik-fil-a - not a problem.

One of the interesting things they noted, especially the white staff on the project, was the need for a us to learn more about ministering in the Latino culture. For them, the project was a real eye opener. For Michelle and Mark (our Hispanic staff running the project) this provided a great training ground for what can work in the Latino context.

The project did most of their work at UTSA and saw 6 students trust Christ the first week of the project. Hats off for this learning opportunity in San Antonio.
